About EM Jellinek Center – Knoxville
Located in Knoxville, Tennessee, the EM Jellinek Center is a residential alcohol and drug rehab center for adult men. They offer services to help clients break the cycle of addiction, develop healthy coping skills, and return back to their families healthier and happier than ever before. For more than 40 years, this state licensed facility has helped local men rebuild their lives and restore their relationships. They are funded through the Tennessee Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse Services, a grant from the KAMA Philanthropic Fund, and public donations. Services may be free or low cost for qualifying clients.
They operate under the idea that a solid meal, clean sheets, and a safe place to sleep can make a transformative difference in anyone’s life. However, they don’t stop at the bare necessities. Here, clients have access to top of the line amenities, including a well appointed dining facility, workout area, and comfortable, quiet living spaces.
While living at the Center, clients can engage in residential treatment services to help them learn more about their addictions, identify triggers, and work through any underlying psychological conditions, such as depression and anxiety, that might contribute to their substance use. They may also engage in educational programming and life skills training to develop the knowledge and tools they need for long term recovery.
On their website, they’ve shared testimonials from past clients who have gone through the program. Many claim that the treatment they receive completely changed their lives and taught them how to become productive members of society. They explain that while they had the desire to get sober, they didn’t have the real tools to do so until they came here.
